What is the nature of the universe? etc, which I used to wonder about a lot. Now I find myself saying... well we are here, or at least I think I am, and I can't answer those big questions, so I'll try my hand at some smaller ones that I might be able to answer. Funny that, maybe when I finish the thesis I'll be back to wondering about the bigger picture again.<br /><br />Anyway that book is going on my list of books to read!Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110865608550754101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-77091112290281139722009-07-29T19:10:47.966+08:002009-07-29T19:10:47.966+08:00I'm sure God had His own theory too for the hu...I'm sure God had His own theory too for the human existence on this planet ......Unicorn Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191224144119007495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-8790001110380731612009-07-29T17:29:56.547+08:002009-07-29T17:29:56.547+08:00Yes, that thought has been in my mind a lot, but t...Yes, that thought has been in my mind a lot, but there's never been any theory good enough...<br /><br />The book <i>is</i> interesting.
